Re: HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)

Ok if "proftpd -nd5" give you erros then that's not worth to try to start the server because it's sure it will fail. I advice you to take the time to read this thread, if you would have read it before posting you would have surely found this post (post #41) where a user already had a similar problem and explained how to solve it, thanks for using the search function :http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=409

Re: HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)

From what i read on the proftpd forum the IPv6 error don't prevent the FTP server to work properly (i have it as well because i use IPv4 address) so you can just forget this one, you get this error because you don't use IPv6 address, anyway if you want to solve this error message read this post :http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...68&postcount=2

Re: HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)

Newb question

Is there a FTP server for linux that you can share other HDDs/directories? When I had a Windows server running I used the old trustworthy FTP server G6 and in that you could just share whatever directory you wanted too and make links so you could see all the shared dirs in the root dir. Is this possible with some linux FTP server?
